It was already evening when Ryan woke up. Just as he was about to walk out of the bedroom, he heard bursts of laughter and screams coming from downstairs through the window. He walked in and looked outside, and found that there was a small playground behind the building where a group of children were playing.

Ryan frowned and looked for a while before leaving the room. He found it was quiet outside, so he quietly walked to the other bedroom, leaned on the door and listened carefully. He found no sound inside, so he guessed that the person might be asleep. Then he tiptoed to the living room and saw the snacks on the table. After a brief thought, he went forward and filled his trouser pockets with snacks, then opened the door and gently closed it, and ran downstairs.

What Ryan didn't know was that the system had secretly told Lin Dai that he had gone downstairs.

Lin Dai stood at the window and watched Ryan easily get along with a group of children. She was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that this might be a good start.

In this way, the two of them spent a month in the base. During this period, Li Si came to find Lin Dai and invited her to go out and hunt zombies together. However, they were all in the area around the base and there were not many large-scale zombies. Lin Dai went out only once and never went again, waiting to go to other places later.

That day, Li Si excitedly came to the 22nd floor and invited Lin Dai to go out and encircle and suppress the zombies.

"Ms. Lin, we have to go to another place to clear out zombies tomorrow morning. It's a bit far and we'll be out for a while. Do you want to go? If you do, make good preparations tonight."

Lin Dai nodded, walked to Ryan's bedroom window and shouted down, "Ryan, come up."

When Ryan, who was downstairs, heard his sister calling him, he knew there was something to say, so he said goodbye to the other kids and quickly ran upstairs.

"Captain Li is here. Are you going on a mission?" After studying for a period of time, Ryan has learned some daily expressions, and he is very talented in this area.

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow morning and have a good rest tonight."

The next morning, the two teams were ready to go, each with 15 members, and drove in opposite directions. Lin Dai drove her car with Ryan behind the team led by Captain Li.

We drove for most of the day but still didn't reach our destination. We took a break and then continued on our way. It was not until it got dark that we finally reached our destination.

Everyone got out of the car and looked around, carefully observing whether there were any potential dangers nearby.

"Everyone, check around to see if there's anything wrong. We'll rest here tonight and start the action tomorrow morning." Captain Li gave the order.

The team members quickly dispersed with weapons in hand and began a meticulous search.

Lin Dai looked around and realized that they were already in the countryside. A towering mountain came into view in the distance.

I couldn't help but feel a little curious and questioning, so I walked up to Captain Li and asked, "Captain Li, why are you here? Did you get any news?"

Li Si explained: "It seems that the zombies in the city have been surrounded and eliminated, but according to our estimation, there should be many zombies hiding. After all, the awareness of zombies is getting stronger and stronger. We can't find many in the city. After our in-depth analysis and investigation, they are likely to hide in the mountain villages or woods far away from the city. Moreover, our current search in rural areas is far from enough. Taking all factors into consideration, this area is definitely a good place for hiding with high concealment."

Hearing this, Lin Dai looked back at the mountain and asked with a hint of uncertainty in her tone, "Are you going to search the mountain?"

Li Si laughed and shook his head: "Of course not, that would be time-consuming and laborious and impossible for a few of us to accomplish. Our plan is to focus on conducting a detailed investigation of the outer areas of the mountain to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. As for the inside of the mountain, we will send a larger team to clear it out once the situation is more stable."

At this time, the team members finished the search and reported one by one that there were no problems around. Then they tidied up a little, prepared a simple meal, and rested on the spot for the night.

The next morning, as the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds, everyone got up early, had a quick breakfast, and prepared to set off.

As a cultivator, Lin Dai's sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

She stretched, took a deep breath, but her brows were instantly knotted into a knot, and her nose couldn't help but sniff a few more times.

Turning to everyone, he asked, "Hey, do you smell anything strange?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and shook their heads.

At this time Ryan raised his hand and said, "Yeah, a little bit. It's a bit of a pungent smell. Although it's not too strong, it is there. I guess it's a bit far away."

Lin Dai nodded: "Yes, it's that rotten smell, it seems to be just ahead, Captain Li, we have to be alert and be careful."

Feeling that the matter was not simple, Captain Li immediately became alert and asked everyone to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

The convoy moved forward slowly, and the stench became more and more obvious. Everyone smelled it, and Captain Li decisively ordered to stop moving forward.

It was obvious that something was wrong ahead, so Captain Li decided not to rush in, but to send several fully armed team members to check it out.

Lin Dai quickly got out of the car and walked over, volunteering: "Captain Li, let me go explore the way first, you guys wait for my news here." As she said that, she took out a medical mask from the car and put it on.

Captain Li knew that she was quite skilled, so he didn't refuse: "Okay, then you should be careful."

Lin Dai put on a mask and was about to leave. Ryan got out of the car and followed her, also putting on a mask.

"Ryan, didn't I say I would take you with me?" Lin Dai was a little surprised.

"But you didn't say you couldn't let me follow you. Let's go, sister." After saying that, without waiting for Lin Dai to react, she passed her and walked forward.

Lin Dai smiled helplessly, walked up to Ryan and ruffled his hair, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You can follow me, but listen to me in everything."

Ryan pulled her hand away and fixed his hair: "I know."

The two walked forward for a distance and soon found a sign lying on the side of the road, which vaguely showed the words "poultry breeding base".

Lin Dai immediately understood that there was a poultry farm nearby and the unpleasant smell must be emitted by the dead poultry.

As we walked further inside, the pungent smell became stronger and stronger, and even with a mask on, it was unbearable.

When they came to a chicken coop, the scene before them was shocking: the door was already in tatters, and the inside was in chaos. Dead poultry were everywhere, and their bodies had already rotted and smelled bad.

Lin Dai put on gloves, squatted down, and carefully fiddled with the dead chickens on the ground. She found that the chickens did not die of natural causes, but their internal organs had been hollowed out.

I walked in while suppressing my nausea, and unexpectedly found a zombie's body under the messy shelves. It was obvious that the zombie was accidentally injured in the chaos.

Lin Dai looked at the chaotic environment around her and knew that other places must be the same. It seemed that Captain Li and the others were right. There must be a lot of zombies nearby.

Suddenly, Lin Dai's eyes widened, her face changed drastically, and she pulled Ryan out of the chicken coop and rushed all the way to the gate of the breeding base.

Then he quickly took out the disinfectant and sprayed it frantically on himself and Ryan. Then he took off his mask and gloves, disinfected them quietly, and put on new ones.

"Ryan, we have to go back quickly." Lin Dai's tone was extremely serious.

Ryan looked confused. Didn't they just arrive? Seeing his sister's serious expression, he asked puzzledly, "Sister, is there something wrong?"

"Well, we have to go back and tell the others. We'll talk later."

Lin Dai answered briefly and then walked back quickly. The others who were waiting there saw that they came back so soon and thought that they must have discovered something.

Captain Li quickly stepped forward and asked, "Ms. Lin, what happened ahead?"

Lin Dai said seriously: "Captain Li, there is a poultry breeding base ahead. All the poultry inside are dead. I have observed it and I am sure that there must be a lot of zombies hiding nearby."

Captain Li looked as if he had expected this, and was about to order the team to move forward to search and eliminate the zombies.

"Captain Li, no, everyone can't go forward anymore?"

"Why?"

"Everyone has smelled this pungent smell, right? I have something very serious to tell you. There is a trend of plague forming ahead, and this place will be shrouded in the plague in a few days." Lin Dai said solemnly.

"what?"

Then he told everyone a piece of breaking news: "Captain Li, you must report this to the higher-ups right now and ask them to send a professional team to deal with this place. I suspect that this is not just the case here. Any place with animals in the rest of the country may have encountered the same situation. If this happens, who knows how many kinds of plagues will be generated, and mutations may also occur."

Captain Li's face was instantly filled with a solemn and stern expression, his brows were furrowed, and unprecedented worry flashed in his eyes.

"Ms. Lin, what does mutation mean? Will they also become zombies?"

Lin Dai explained, "That's not the case. These animals didn't die of natural causes. They were killed by zombies. I'm worried that if the zombie virus spreads to the animals, it won't be a simple plague over time. So Captain Li, you must report this to the higher-ups right now."

"I understand." Captain Li turned back to the car and quickly asked the communicator to contact the base and told Battalion Commander He what had been discovered here.

After hearing this, Captain He's face changed drastically. He immediately reported the situation to Kyoto and arranged for a team to escort professionals from the CDC to the scene in an epidemic prevention vehicle.
